Research Capabilities

The Alliance will make Indiana a hotspot for life sciences and biosciences research. BioCrossroadsLINX
released a January 2008 report suggesting that Indiana could capture significant external contracts with some
of the nation's 1,100 bioscience companies, which are spending $14 billion annually. IIA will partner with
BioCrossroads to build these external partnerships.

Making core research capabilities available to both academic and corporate researchers throughout the state
will reduce the burdensome costs of equipment and people.

These capabilities will initially include:

Microscopic to whole-body advanced imaging for supporting
advanced clinical research studies and disease-related research
